About Paul Edworthy
I believe that healthy organisations begin with healthy people.
For more than 25 years I have worked alongside people, leaders and teams, helping them navigate change, develop stronger relationships and grow in confidence and effectiveness. My journey has taken me through pastoral leadership, education, coaching and leadership development, giving me the privilege of working with individuals, charities, churches and organisations across a wide range of settings.
Today, my work combines coaching, facilitation, reflective practice and leadership development to help leaders, teams and organisations flourish. Whether coaching an individual leader, facilitating a leadership team or supporting an organisation over time, my aim is always the same: to create space for awareness, ownership and meaningful, sustainable growth.
I live in Hastings, East Sussex, where I enjoy family life, the sea, reading, travel and triathlon. These are places where I continue to learn, reflect and grow...qualities that also shape the way I work with others.

What People Say
Natalie Williams
CEO Jubilee+ | Author
Paul led a brilliant workshop for Jubilee+ partners who are supporting people facing poverty and related challenges. So often, it's hard for those serving week-in, week-out in food banks, debt centres, homeless shelters and so on to not become overwhelmed by the needs around us. Paul offered excellent practical tools for how we can continue to care for people in poverty, but 'without carrying it all'. We had such great feedback from those who came - from people saying it helped them in their personal lives as much as in their volunteering and work, to those who said they felt empowered by the specific tools Paul equipped us with.
Darren
Owner of Over & Wonder
Really grateful for the sessions with Paul. It was great being able to talk through my business's mission and personal goals with someone who is an experienced coach and who can bring a fresh pair of eyes to speak into challenges. I felt by the end we had overcome some obstacles, got to the root of unhelpful ways of thinking and I left feeling equipped, with some great frameworks to move forwards confidently. I came away feeling encouraged and empowered!
